Discounts

A Council Tax discount of 25% is available for properties occupied by one liable person aged 18 years or over. The discount is variable and is between 10-50% where the property is not the sole or main residence of any person. Water and Sewerage charges do not attract a variable discount.

In assessing residency, certain categories of residents are disregarded, for example:

certain students, student nurses and apprentices

long-term patients in a hospital or a hostel

persons in prison

severely mentally impaired persons

certain types of care workers

Documentary evidence must be provided to support each application and the type of evidence required is detailed on the relevant form.
